Carl Levin Drops All Pretense

Caucus Leapfrog: Carl Levin Drops All Pretense

From The Politico, Carl Levin wants Michigan to move to... whenever they have to to burn New Hampshire.
Sen. Carl Levin, Democrat of Michigan, threatened Wednesday to hold Michigan's presidential nominating contest on the same day as the New Hampshire primary in order to end New Hampshire's "cockamamie" first-in-the nation role.


"No state should have that dominant a role," Levin said at a breakfast with reporters. "New Hampshire has a hammerlock, folks."

Levin admitted that New Hampshire might be able to beat Michigan to the punch, but said one of his purposes was to register his "disgust" with New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation status.


The move would mean a switch from a primary to a caucus for Michigan Democrats.

Bill Gardner, New Hampshire's secretary of state (official state motto: "Vote First Or Die"), countered quickly: "We could have a primary in early December if need be."
